This. In the language popularized by Kahnemann et al. I tell myself: wow, he really got my system 1. And then system 2 needs to work on on undoing the belief created, get back to sober doubt and weigh the probabilities.

But this is an interpretation after the fact, it feels exactly like you describe it. Stupor.

But the odd time when system 2 is also satisfied, you genuinely learn something important and new. How lovely that feeling is.
